the monkey house painting adventure

The monkey house had the painters in and some paint got spilled, i was put in charge on the hose pipe on the strict instructions of the alpha here in the zoo.

A hour later spiders webs where decorated white. but most of the spill was gone.  I think that means i can be called a interior designer for spiders.

If you know any spiders who are in need of web design* then i am your ape.

*not html et al in this case

The virus configuration revisited

boredIn a boring moment here in the zoo i had a look at our virus config, i noticed that things had changed not too much but extra features could now be enabled.   The source was updated but nothing necessary seemed needing a download.

I enabled a few things disabled in our version of the configuration file and tested – it mostly worked although some feature has extended rules but i will wait and see when a virus is detected to find if i need those extra commands.

As a non microsoft site its not really necessary to have a scanner but it is a good criteria for blocking bad hosts and stopping inbound crap.

You microsoft windows users do like living dangerously and  i am all for it so continue your bravery with crap software..

The second stomach

Professor (my blog) had a ‘quick’ surgery to remove something in a leg and ‘quick” sort of became over an hour to remove said object professors other half tells us. He is not eating after a week which makes us wonder if a second stomach is located in the leg.

I know such a thing does not exist but it does make you wonder

Anyhow if professor sees this get well soon.

 

postfix v3 configuration

Discussed here (my blog) is a lot improved – for instance people who connect there browsers to port 25 gets rejected.  Limits on bad or misconfigured  ip’s mean our mailgraph stats are not what they used to be since mailgraph changed drastically and the limits postfix now imposes of traffic.

Postfix is mostly a success.  I do get milter issues due to my old configuration but i can live without changing it.

Overall worth the change,  Systemd does not like postfix (my blog) but since all has to do is run a command and fails reflect reality i do not think much of that crap.  Once you ignore systemd all is well with the universe.

How much! and adverts too

also in beige

The zoo needed pc’s as some of them are well over ten years old and showing signs of hardware issues like forgetting the time** and being a bit slow with other regular seek human movements that persuaded the zoo to flash some cash on stuff..

Naturally i go to a site that i can buy to order rather than buy hp (my blog) or another brand get what we need without the crap copy of windows which is a lot cheaper than in stock and off the shelf from online retailers.

Crook

Deselecting windows 10 (my blog) resulted in the zoo shaving £100 off the bill (converted tp usd 130.00 at time i wrote this. So next time you wonder what you could do with an spare $130 makes using open source software a lot of sense.

mafia run microsoft

Apparently I also read that Microsoft are putting adverts everywhere in windows 10 so in addition to buying mafia insurance* from microsoft they also plaster adverts over it.

I am fascinated that people pay microsoft for this software via hardware vendors who i assume do it for laziness and some very shady microsoft sales staff.

Sure we have to install something on the hardware, but even windows needs setting up.

If only Greece only had a female prime minister

street urchins

Bananas reads that the eu has apparently softened it’s demands for the uk to leave the eu after reading between the lines that Comrade May (my blog) could be deposed.

So it got me thinking on Greece (my blog) perhaps if female leaders get better deals than male ones that could be deemed as sexism ?

I wonder what greece would have looked like now ?

Think on it.

Stupid black men (a homage to film maker Michael Moore)

I like you may have reading (not here) that the world health organisation or ‘who’ appointed dictator for life in Zimbabwe as ambassador for health.  El presidenre has to go elsewhere for his health services and has a life span three times that of the average zimbabwean.

.zw – Its a weird place (my blog) and i read while it might have a medical system in name but apparently getting paid and medicine are in short supply – no wonder Mugabe does not use it.

This decision was made by Dr Tedros who is the first african to run who, it appears he is sexist as mrs Mugabe should also be the ambassador how dare he not make her a health ambassador as well after all her talents are well noted as a lady torturer (my blog).

If having a health service in name only is deemed exceptional then clearly there is not much difference between the stupid white men who believe in private health care and the black ones**.

Perhaps its something Mr Moore can explain as to why private health is better – you know the one.

Mind you it is like Saudi Arabia having a conference on womens rights, and being chair of human rights at the un, and yes those two things actually happened.

At least mr and mrs mugabe can afford* private health care and that’s got to be progress right ?

*probably paid by China (my blog) ** mr moore is a left wing film maker in america

 

 

Is it worth £15 each? a film at a cinema

Bananas went ‘chav’ on netflix and saw ant man which is a superhero film. It was entertaining but i could not not justify the cost of the film in an cinema.  The back story was good, the fight scene clever although what sort of girl has a train set? – perhaps enlarged barbie dolls (my blog) was thought deviant or no copyright permission was given.

Since hollywood hates netflix  i would not be bothered if chav films like the cited one above where never to appear there and end up in some online ghetto approved by those sex perverts (my blog).  I have no idea how you download an app thingy to the television in the secuirity office at the zoo so if they think its going to happen then wish them well in there delusion*.  It [smart tv] came with netflix and original netflix stuff seems much better than the cited film.

Since i do not give opinions on popular culture things often lets leave it at that.

*questions like disk space left (no idea) on the smart tv and running linux pc’s mean its probably for apple and windoze os only so somehow its not going to happen.

New cars of 2017 ‘radios’

Professor finally got his virtual renault (my blog) and us apes got to explore the car of 2017 (my blog) at a later date.  It appears futuristic with built in stuff looking like a prelude to driverless cars and is apparently 85% recyclable although i am sure those scrap metal dealers who dismember broken* cars can do better..

The radio which came with the car and not specified by prof or his significant other is usb port ready but has no hole for ‘compact’ disks. The radio is not a radio but a car computer instead that connects with mobile phones and knows where you also want go if you do not how to.

Since the english drive on the wrong side of the road some of the buttons seem in the wrong location but this brain is well thought out as we apes planned a trip to whipsnade zoo for professor..

Professor is not into music compact disks but this cars choice means it is not going to be popular format for long.  I wonder how long progress was held up by th riaa and others faring piracy perhaps music as a file is now seen as a resale rather than threat – there a bit slow the music industry.  Anybody need a usb drive ? it does not play ogg files for some reason.

I actually used a compact disk for a small backup the other day that too was a rare occurrence..
